Chapter 211: Changes in Huaining Mansion
"My subordinates don't know, young master, let's speed up our pace and go directly to the yamen of the state capital to find out!"
Liu was obviously a little helpless, after all, he had been following Li Yue and didn't know much about the following things.
If Hu Yongzhi came with him, he would definitely answer Li Yue's doubts one by one.
But now he is a military general, and he can only be regarded as a dutiful bodyguard, and he has no way of knowing the operation of the state capital below.
"Okay, get out of here quickly, I want to take a good look at this juniper pine, how did he make this Huaining Mansion a commercial center for me."
Li Yue's face was gloomy, and he looked very displeased, and left the dock in a hurry.
A group of dozens of people looked very eye-catching, and as soon as they left the dock, they were surrounded by more than a dozen officers and soldiers.
"Who are you? Don't know the rules here? Guards are not allowed to carry weapons into the territory of Huaiyang City. ”
The officer and soldier who took the lead said with a serious face.
Hearing this, Li Yue didn't say much, but turned his head to look at Liu Ming on the side.
At the same time, Liu Ming also took out the waist card he was carrying with him and stepped forward, muttering a few words to the leading officers and soldiers.
More than a dozen officers and soldiers immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Yue.
Looking at the appearance of more than a dozen officers and soldiers, I also knew that I was the end of my job, and there should be no better than myself.
Even if Emperor Chongzhen came here, no one might care about it.
After all, the influence of the current imperial court here can only be a pastime after tea and dinner.
Subsequently, under the protection of more than a dozen officers and soldiers, the group quickly came to the yamen of the state capital.
After Li Yue left, Du Baisong has been conscientious and self-denying, loyal and dedicated, thinking about how to bring Huaining Mansion out of the mud and into the light.
However, the ensuing problems led him to despair again and again.
However, it was also because of such strong pressure that he burst out with unprecedented potential.
Taking advantage of Huaining Mansion's close proximity to Fengyang Mansion and even several state capitals, and the powerful Cao Yun, Cao Yun and land transportation are greatly engaged.
As a result, the inability to circulate goods caused by the plague was alleviated, and at the same time, the prosperity of local industry and commerce was strengthened.
However, behind the prosperity there are also dangerous signs.
After all, even if the stranded commodities generate liquidity, they do not lead to an increase in food production.
On the contrary, because of the prosperity of industry and commerce, the surplus labor force and even the agricultural labor force themselves have devoted themselves to other industries, resulting in a large-scale reduction in grain production.
"How so? I was so poor that I was dying, but now I am so rich that I have no food, and the bandit trouble in Huguang has just ended, and the grain harvest is also poor, what should I do now? ”
Jun Baisong's face was full of despair, as if the difficulties he encountered at this time had made it impossible for him to go further.
So in the empty hall, one person began to talk to himself.
Just when he was silent and annoyed, Li Yue and the others directly entered the yamen of the state capital.
"Can't solve the problem, can you? I asked you to give me a good deal of Huaining Mansion, but I didn't expect you to turn this place into a commodity distribution center! It's a good job, but without food, people will starve. ”
Li Yue said helplessly.
Hearing Li Yue's voice, Du Baisong, who was originally desperate and helpless, immediately stood up.
When he looked up and saw this one that made him daunting, but he thought about the young master day and night, he wouldn't even be able to walk.
As soon as he took a step, he stumbled and stumbled up, and was quickly supported by Liu Ming's eyes, almost falling to the ground like a dog chewing.
"Young master, you can think of me, in the past few months, I have been thinking about it day and night, and I am looking forward to you being able to come back to preside over the overall situation, I really failed your expectations, I can't take on this heavy responsibility!"
Jun Baisong looked guilty, and it really looked like he was unable to hold such an important position, as he said.
Looking at the painful and pleading appearance of the man in front of him, Li Yue almost couldn't help laughing.
I didn't plan to punish him in the first place.
After all, Huaining Mansion, which was deeply plagued by the plague and was poor and wanted to eat people, has now become a place with only a lot of food and money, which is not bad.
"Isn't there something wrong with you? Wouldn't it be over if you find a way to get some food and come back? ”
Li Yue said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Du Baisong, who was originally guilty, turned even paler, as if he was really sorry for Li Yue.
His eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
"I have already built the septic tanks that you asked me to promote, but the grain harvest is very slow, and the goods are not sold faster, so there are very few people who grow grain, resulting in a poor grain harvest."
Du Baisong frowned and said helplessly.
Hearing the other party's words, Li Yue couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, our famous Du Xiucai will actually be trapped by food, if no one grows, you can improve the status of the farmers and give them higher subsidies, isn't it?"
Li Yue looked a little helpless, shook his head and said with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Du Baisong was even more speechless, as if Li Yue's plan had already been used and did not work.
"My subordinates are indeed limited in ability, and I have used the tricks that the young master said, but the effect is very small, not enough to change the overall situation, but I want to close the commercial circulation, but I can't do it."
Du Baisong said with a bitter face.
"That's natural, you let people eat the sweetness, and then snatch the meat from your mouth, it's no wonder that these people don't skin you alive, now that it's a trading hub, then do it."
Li Yue's expression was solemn, as if he didn't care about what Du Baisong said.
As soon as he heard this, Du Baisong was also relieved, after all, without punishment, it would be better.
But then the guilt in my heart became even stronger, and I felt that I was really sorry for Li Yue's expectations.
"Young Master, when you say this, I feel even more useless, if it weren't for the cultivation of the Young Master, I might have starved to death outside Xuanchang City."
Du Baisong looked guilty and said very painfully.
"Don't think about it, since things have already happened like this, there is no way, but you can find other state capitals to solve the food problem."
Li Yue still proposed a solution, but this plan was useless in the eyes of Bai Song.
After all, in the current chaotic situation, food is the source of stability, and no one can give up food to others, even if it is bought with money, it can't buy much.
"Young master, I've already tried, if it weren't for the Fengyang Mansion to send some food over, maybe food and clothing would be a problem now."
Du Baisong said with a bitter face.
Hearing this, Li Yue couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
